A plumber or the appropriate trade fixes the source; a cleanup crew dries the damage. Call Water Cleanup Team USA at (888) 578-6508.

How Older and Historic Home Water Damage Water Cleanup Works in Garfield

2. Find absorbed moisture

   Pin and pinless meters show whether the Garfield floor still holds water below its finish.

3. Remove what cannot stay

   Soaked carpet pad may be lifted so the floor beneath it can dry.
